FRESNO, Calif. – With the women's college basketball season just over three months away from returning, Fresno State has announced its nonconference schedule for the 2023-24 season. For the second straight season, the Bulldogs will open the year at home against Fresno Pacific (Nov. 6).
Fresno State will play a 13-game nonconference schedule, matching its total from last year. Prior to last season, the 13 games were the most in the nonconference for the program since 2012.
Following an exhibition game against LaVerne on Oct. 27, the Bulldogs will open the year with a five-game stretch that features four at home, including the first three (Fresno Pacific, UC Merced, Pepperdine). The first road trip of the season will be on Nov. 18 against CSU Bakersfield. Long Beach State will then make its first trip to Fresno since 2007 on Nov. 21.
Thanksgiving week will see Fresno State play in the GCU Women's Basketball Classic, facing host GCU on Nov. 24 and Eastern Illinois the following afternoon. That trip leads into another five-game stretch with four of those coming at the Save Mart Center (Portland State, UC San Diego, Cal State Fullerton). That lone trip sees the 'Dogs head to Cal Poly on Dec. 9 followed by the final home nonconference game on Dec. 16 versus Sacramento State.
The Bulldogs close nonconference play on Dec. 20 in the inaugural Hall of Fame Series Phoenix. Fresno State will face Arizona State at the Footprint Center, home of the Suns (NBA) and Mercury (WNBA).
